[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you are handling this just fine.  Your DC is in a good base school with an immersion program.  Friendships don't have to end when a school changes -- you can maintain one or two good friendships outside of school, and that can be of great benefit to your DC once middle school comes around and he/she needs a good friend outside of the inevitable school drama.

Your DC can get a lot of benefit at his/her base school.  DC can do advanced Math in 5th and 6th grade.  DC will have the advantage of being one of the top students in class.

There are plenty of so-so teachers at AP Centers and plenty of outstanding teachers in base schools.  A great teacher will provide enrichment for all children, not just the AAP kids.  Your child will have the benefit of learning in a diverse environment among kids with different strengths and weaknesses.

No doors have closed for your DC.  He/she can still reach full potential.  DC is no more or less gifted than DC was before all these scores came out and you didn't get the label you were hoping for.  Nothing has changed about your child.  Just love DC and treasure this time - it passes so quickly![/quote]
